As light and thin as it is, the latest models pack a lot of punch for their size, with the M1 chip and the capacity for 16GB of RAM, as well as 2TB of storage. The Air series has been a featherweight favorite of Apple enthusiasts for a decade, and with good reason. If you don’t have the budget for the MacBook Pro but still want a laptop, make sure you don’t overlook the MacBook Air. If you need your DAW to fit in a backpack while holding its own for large sessions, this is the one. The 16-inch MacBook Pro has three Thunderbolt 4 ports and can be configured with up to 32GB of RAM and 8TB of storage, making it a versatile machine for shows and rehearsals as well as in the studio. These specifications, plus the 8-core M1 chip, make it powerful enough for Logic Pro X sessions. You can max it out to 16GB of RAM and 2TB of storage. You might also like the latest iMac if you don’t have an external display and don’t want the added expense.

If you have a home studio and want to keep your budget under $2,000, the Mac mini has also been upgraded with the M1 chip and supports two displays.

If you don’t quite have the budget for the Mac Pro, but you still want a really robust desktop machine, the Mac Studio series is worth a look. If you have several MIDI instruments or outboard audio gear that connects via USB, you’ll want something with a lot of ports.
